Fried Pork Tenderloin And Sawmill Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Dredge cubed pork pieces in flour and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine egg and milk. Dip pork in milk and egg mixture and coat with remaining flour. You may use a little more flour, if necessary.
• 2. Heat oil in large skillet (I use a cast iron skillet). When hot, add a couple of pork pieces at a time and fry to golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and fry for about 3 more minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels. (Note that cooking time may be slightly longer, depending on the thickness of the cubed pork).
• 3. Prepare Gravy and serve over cubed pork.
• 4. SAWMILL GRAVY: Heat bacon grease in skillet (I use a cast iron skillet) and then add flour, sugar, salt and pepper, cooking until lightly browned.
• 5. Add milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly using metal spatula or whisk (I prefer spatula). Reduce heat and continue stirring until desired consistancy.
• 6. If gravy seems too thick, you may add a little more milk until the consistancy is right. If gravy seems too thin, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of flour in a glass measuring cup and whisk in just enough milk to make a pourable paste. Add mixture to gravy and return to heat, stirring until thickened.

Steps:

• For the dressing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Continue to cook until the butter begins to bubble and smoke. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bread cubes and poultry seasoning to the skillet and stir and fold the bread to toast it, 3 to 4 minutes. The bread should start to brown and should smell amazing.
• Turn off the heat and drizzle in about 1 cup of the broth and fold it into the bread. Drizzle in enough more broth to moisten the dressing but not make it soggy. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Once you're happy with the flavors, stir in the parsley and thyme.
• Dot the top of the dressing with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until browned, about 10 minutes longer.
• For the pork: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the tenderloin with the thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Press the seasonings firmly onto the pork.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat. Swirl in the oil. When the first wisp of white smoke appears, add the pork and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 5 minutes, then flip the pork and return the skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the pork reaches 135 degrees F. Remove from the oven, transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let rest until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F for a nice medium, 8 to 10 minutes. (If you want the pork a little more well done, remove from the oven at 140 degrees F and let rest until 145 degrees F.)
• For the quick gravy: Place the hot pan the pork cooked in back over medium-high heat. Toss in the butter and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is light brown and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir for another minute, making a rough roux. Slowly stir in the cold broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the gravy just simmers. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Finish by stirring in the cream.
• Slice the pork and serve it with the dressing and gravy, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients until blended; set aside. In a large skillet, brown pork in oil on all sides. Stir in the gravy mixture, mushrooms and onion. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until meat juices run clear and vegetables are tender. Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Reserve 2 tablespoons flour and set aside, place the remaining flour in a shallow dish.
• To the bowl mix together the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper.
• Rub the pork chops all over with the seasoning.
• Place the buttermilk in a shallow bowl.
• Dip the chops in buttermilk, then dredge in flour.
• Heat oil and butter in a skillet, then brown the chops over medium high heat for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through; remove to a plate, cover loosley with foil to keep warm(do not drain the fat in the pan).
• Add in chopped onion and saute until soft (about 3-4 minutes, you might need to add in more butter if needed to the pan).
• Add in the reserved 2 tablespoon flour to the skillet, then stir/whisk in the milk and seasoned salt; whisk or stir constantly until thickened and bubbly.
• Season with lots black pepper.
• Serve the gravy with the pork chops.

Steps:

• Stir panko bread crumbs, parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Dip tenderloin slices in the crumb mixture to coat both sides.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet and fry the pork until the crumb coating is browned and the pork is no longer pink inside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the pork should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
